Seventeenth Century Bidjar Rug
Seventeenth Century Bidjar
This seventeenth-century Bidjar rug is a beautiful example of traditional Persian rug weaving. Bidjar rugs originate from the village of Bidjar in Kurdistan, Iran, and are renowned for their durability, intricate designs, and rich colours.
Bidjar rugs are typically made from high-quality wool, often combined with cotton for the warp and weft. The wool is usually densely woven, contributing to the rug’s durability.
These rugs often feature geometric patterns, floral motifs, and medallions. The designs can vary but typically include rich colours such as deep reds, blues, and golds.
Bidjar rugs are known for their “double knots” (Turkman knots), which make them especially sturdy and thick. The density of the knots and the quality of the weaving contribute to their longevity and resilience.
The colour palette of Bidjar rugs often includes natural dyes, which yield rich and vibrant colours. The characteristic deep reds, blues, and greens are common, with a focus on creating a harmonious balance in the overall design.
Due to their construction methods and materials used, Bidjar rugs are often referred to as “the iron rugs.” They withstand heavy foot traffic and are suitable for both formal and casual settings.
